Castles A Fortified History of the World
From the bestselling author of The Templars and Powers and Thrones, Dan Jones returns with Castles: a gripping history of the world told through over three thousand years of iconic strongholds.Castles have been built to defend humanity for millennia - from the walls of Troy and the desert bastion of Krak des Chevaliers in Syria; to Windsor Castle and the Tower of London; to Himeji in Japan and the Maginot Line in the Second World War. They have inspired terror and ambition, foiled conquering forces, and been deployed as the ultimate expression of wealth, status and supremacy.Jones leads readers on a journey through centuries and across continents as each castle tells a unique story of power, politics and survival, revealing the shifting tides of warfare, the rise and fall of empires, the resilience of people under siege and the flourishing of new ideas.Blending rich storytelling, cutting-edge research and beautiful original illustrations, Castles is an epic story of how humans first came to build fortifications and how they expanded into powerfully capturing our imagination. With Jones's trademark scholarship and flair, he shows how defiance, endurance and imagination have been carved into the landscapes we've inherited.
Its Not a Cult
'I loved it straight away ... characters so vivid you feel like they might be living in your wardrobe right now' NATASHA PULLEY, author of THE WATCHMAKER OF FILIGREE STREET'Gloriously over-the-top and under-the-skin [with] shades of early Angela Carter' OSKAR JENSEN, author of HELLE AND DEATHCallum, Melusine and Al play in a band with no name, baffling audiences in terrible pubs across the northeast of England with their 'sound'. Their songs tell the stories of the Solkats: fictional northern gods of small things, of mishap and mayhem. Absolutely no one knows what they're on about. But they believe in their music, and in each other. And they're happy.That is, until an act of violence at a pub gig goes viral, they catch the eye of a disillusioned influencer and suddenly go from having a cult following to having a cult, following.All the Solkats want, Callum insists, is to have effect on the world. But as fans from LA to Australia flock to Northumberland, and each gig becomes larger and more lawless than the last, this effect starts to feel scarily... real. Which poses the question: if the Solkats really do exist, which is it more dangerous to anger: a wayward group of elder gods, or your biggest fans?Because gods and cults both demand sacrifices. And one way or another they're going to get one...'An incredibly fun read ... Joey Batey has pulled another arrow out of his creative quiver and hit a bullseye' GRIMDARK'Vigorous, lurid, page-turning' LOCUS
Fly, Wild Swans
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
THE LONG-AWAITED SEQUEL TO WILD SWANS, THE MULTI-MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING SENSATION
A Book of the Year in The Times; Daily Telegraph; Financial Times and Waterstones
'A must-read … magnificent’ DAILY TELEGRAPH *****
'Beautiful and moving' ELIF SHAFAK, OBSERVER
Jung Chang’s Wild Swans was a book that defined a generation, an epic personal history of Jung, her mother and grandmother – ‘three daughters of China’. The book opens in 1909 with her grandmother’s birth – and foot-binding – when China was under the last emperor, moving through Mao Zedong’s rule, especially the Cultural Revolution during which Jung’s parents were subjected to horrendous ordeals because of their courage. It finishes in 1978 when Deng Xiaoping officially ended the Mao era and started the ‘reforms’. Jung, at that propitious juncture, became one of the first Chinese to leave Communist China for the West.
Nearly half a century on, China has risen from a decrepit and isolated state to a global power, the challenger to the United States’ dominant position in the world. Through those decades, Jung’s life has been intimately entwined with her native land. Her experiences dealing with the regime in those years were rich and revealing – especially so because all her books were (and are) banned.
Fly, Wild Swans is the follow-up to Wild Swans and brings the story of Jung’s family – along with that of China – up to date. The book is in many ways Jung’s love letter to her mother. It is inevitably also about her grandmother and father, both of whom died tragically in the Cultural Revolution but are often recalled in this book. In fact, the past is never far away in Jung’s subsequent life. It has shaped her, and moulded the present China, and what’s more, it promises to herald the future.
China is now at another watershed moment with the era of Chairman Xi Jinping greatly affecting the lives of Jung and her mother. Fly, Wild Swans is Jung’s heartfelt response to that experience, and a book filled with drama, love, curiosity and incredible history – both personal and global. Ultimately uplifting, told in Jung’s clear, honest and compelling voice, it is memoir writing at its best.
'Profoundly revealing as a portrait both of a family and of the deeper traumas that lie at the heart of modern China' RORY STEWART
'Another wonder book from Jung Chang…I am quite blown away by it' LADY ANTONIA FRASER

Slová v ohni
Kniha prináša štyridsaťdva miniesejí venovaných dielam ukrajinskej literatúry, ktoré vychádzajú v posledných rokoch vo viacerých európskych jazykoch. Autor sa na pozadí súčasnej rusko-ukrajinskej vojny sústreďuje na najaktuálnejšiu prozaickú, básnickú a esejistickú tvorbu, no nenecháva bokom ani nové vydania starších diel a ukazuje, ako sa ukrajinská literatúra vyrovnáva s kolektívnou pamäťou i s postsovietskou každodennosťou, ale aj akým spôsobom je napojená na európske literárne a kultúrne tradície. V centre interpretačnej pozornosti sa ocitajú diela autorov a autoriek ako Taras Ševčenko, Valerjan Pydmohylnyj, Taňa Pjankova, Jurij Andruchovyč, Sofija Andruchovyč, Oleksandr Myched, Serhij Žadan, Taňa Maľarčuk, Jevhenija Kuznecova, Anatolij Dnistrovyj, Anastasija Levkova, Artem Čapaj, Andrij Ľubka, Taras Prochasko, Oleg Sencov, Oksana Zabužko, Viktorija Amelina, Andrej Kurkov, Ostap Slyvynsky, Pavlo Korobčuk, Ljuba Jakymčuk, Ilya Kaminsky, Oksana Maksymčuk, Anna Siedykh, Iryna Zahladko, Katja Petrowskaja, Alexej Sevruk, Andrij Semiankiv, Ilarion Pavľuk a i.
Fantasta
J. van Oudshoorn (1876 – 1951), vlastným menom Jan Koos Feylbrief, bol nizozemský diplomat a prozaik. Vo svojich dielach opakovane stvárňoval patologické indivíduá čeliace samote a nepochopeniu meštianskej spoločnosti. Svojim štýlom nadväzoval na literárny naturalizmus i realizmus 19. storočia. K autorovým najznámejším dielam patria romány Willem Merten?s levensspiegel (Životné zrkadlo Willema Mertensa, 1914) a Tobias en de Dood (Tobiáš a Smrť, 1925); v roku 1945 do nizozemčiny preložil (z nemeckého jazyka) a vydal román Jozefa Cígera Hronského Jozef Mak. Van Oudshoornova novela Fantasta (De fantast, 1948) je prvým autorovým dielom, ktoré vychádza v slovenčine.
